WordPress AJAX Generator
Generate wp_ajax handler boilerplate with nonce verification, capability checks, sanitized parameters, and JSON responses — ready to paste into your plugin.
Ideal for admin interactions, live search, form saves, and other background requests through admin-ajax.php without rewriting security scaffolding.
AJAX handlers repeat the same security pattern
Action registration, nonce checks, capability guards, input sanitization, and wp_send_json_success() — skip any step and you risk CSRF or data issues.
Zelvigo’s AJAX Generator builds a consistent handler scaffold so you focus on the business logic inside the callback.
What you can generate
- Action name — registers
wp_ajax_{action}(andwp_ajax_nopriv_{action}when public) - Context — logged-in users only, or public (logged-in + logged-out)
- Permission callback — administrators, editors, logged-in users, or public
- Nonce action — used with
check_ajax_referer() - Request parameters — optional typed params (string, integer, email, textarea, and more)
- JavaScript stub — optional fetch example in code comments

How it works
- Open Zelvigo Dev Studio → Create AJAX Handler
- Set action name, context, permissions, and optional request params
- Enable the JavaScript stub if you want a fetch example in comments
- Click Generate and copy the PHP
- Wire your front-end or admin UI, or include in a plugin package
Works best with
- Admin Page Generator — custom admin screens that call AJAX handlers
- REST API Generator — structured JSON APIs for external clients; AJAX for in-dashboard actions
- Plugin Boilerplate — ship handlers with CPTs, settings, and admin UI
Frequently asked questions
AJAX vs REST API — which should I use?
Use AJAX for quick admin or front-end actions tied to WordPress sessions and nonces. Use REST for structured endpoints consumed by apps, headless front ends, or external clients.
Does it include nonce verification?
Yes. Generated handlers call check_ajax_referer() with your nonce action. The optional JS stub shows how to pass the nonce from wp_localize_script.
What do I need?
WordPress 6.5+, PHP 8.0+, and an active Pro license for cloud generators.
